I've just applied 4 more bags, 144 pounds, about 25 per thousand of Milorganite to the lawn. Additionally, I added another 4 bags, 160 lbs, of Ironite to continue to increase the iron levels. The grass is definitely less chlorotic and I'm hopeful that next years' soil test will show considerably improved iron levels.

I'm still working on the annuals, but I'm close to completion. I picked up a few heliotrope and Gerber daisies for pots, but I don't think I need anything else.

The Certainty application from earlier on the nutsedge is definitely working, although I may still patch some of the larger areas.

It's been some time since I updated the images. Here's the lawn as of yesterday. The color is a little chlorotic, but it's been raining for eight days. That will recover fairly quickly, and the last of the holes are filling in now.

About Me

I have an elite bluegrass lawn, including Midnight II, Moonlight, Bedazzled, Prosperity, Brilliant, Moonbeam, and Blueberry cultivars. I'm an organic gardener as well.
I receive a lot of questions at work and from friends and family regarding lawn care, so I'll answer many of them here and send out the link.
